“My Intention, in both the process of creating the work and the work itself, is to combine bodily and earthly components with spiritual elements.”
Mary’s stoneware ceramic, organic forms are inspired by the Cornish shoreline using locally sourced Cornish Clay.
The Work.
Mary’s glazed stoneware ceramic pieces speak of the clean Atlantic surf crashing onto the land at the base of the North Cliffs of Cornwall, a never-ending cycle – sometimes smooth and gentle, at others rough and angry.
All her pieces are handmade, using clay mined in Cornwall. They are thrown on a potter’s wheel, altered and added to, and finally glazed with several glazes containing additional carbonates and oxides.
